The statement reflects Scott Turner's direct quote from a HUD press release dated April 29, 2026, announcing the rescission of a Biden-era manufactured housing energy efficiency mandate. The Trump administration did focus on reducing regulatory barriers to housing supply during this period. However, the specific claim that the mandate added 'tens of thousands of dollars' to new home costs is a policy assertion that varies by analysis and housing type, making it difficult to verify as an absolute factual claim rather than a policy position.

The statement attributes a specific cost impact of "tens of thousands of dollars" to a rescinded HUD mandate, but no verifiable HUD action or independent analysis confirms that rescinding any particular HUD regulation reduced new-home costs by that amount. The claim lacks concrete evidence and appears to be an unsubstantiated assertion.

There is no evidence that any HUD mandate rescinded in 2026 added tens of thousands of dollars to the cost of a new home; cost impacts of such regulations are typically much smaller, making the claim unsubstantiated.

The statement contains factual errors regarding the timeline - the Trump Administration served from 2017-2021, not in 2026 when this statement was supposedly made. Additionally, there is no record of Scott Turner being confirmed as HUD Secretary.
